Shogun is a strategy game by Dirk Henn. As warlords in 16th-century Japan, the players attempt to secure a position of dominance for their respective clans. The most successful Daimyo at the end of the game will become Shogun. To succeed, a player will need not only to control as many provinces as possible, but also to develop his realm by building castles, temples and theaters. The player who manages to build the most buildings in each of the five regions earns valuable bonus points. The Shogun Big Box contains the Shogun base game and the expansions “Tenno’s Court” (1), “Samurai” (2), “Military Leader” (3) and “Noble Arts in Japan” (4).

Shogun and Lancaster are heavier games, but offer better value than my big box copies of Kingdom Builder and Escape, which…
An Improved Version of the Classic Wallenstein Set In Japan! Shogun is a classic area control, euro-style game based on Queen’s famous “Wallenstein” board game with a re-skin/theming set in feudal Japan! The Big Box version collects all the expansions and puts them into one …big box. It’s an excellent value that is only marred (hence the loss of one ‘star’) for dated and dull artwork. I was very disappointed that the ‘Big Box’ version didn’t get a art makeover.
